    It's quite basic but very yummy , brown it in a pan and add some chopped peppers , onion and garlic and crumble a stock cube in for flavour. You could add any veg to it really. Fry it for about 10 - 15 minutes and have it in a wrap with some sour cream or salsa, Old El Paso sell lovely wraps although I've never "bought" them myself lol!

    It was really nice!

    I'll be your way next week....if you want someone to pop round and cook you an evening meal and be someone to vent at for an hour, feel free to PM me. :)

    I have this image of you cooking a meal for me ............. in your purple tights :eek: :eek: Thanks for such a kind offer :A


    Evening guys - hope you are all well :D

    I went to see Mr 3Dogs from 3.30pm to 6.30pm. He'd had the morphine drip removed this morning, as well as his catheter which is good progress. However, he'd been in his chair for 20 minutes and felt he'd overdone it as he was in pain and very tired when I got there. Nurse gave him some orimorph to take the edge off the pain. He was also quite down today, probably after coming off the morphine. Despite having the catheter out from 8 am and drinking 2 jugs of water/squash, he could have a wee, no matter how hard he tried, and he was staining himself trying, so the nurse checked with the doc and re-fitter the catheter which started to drain immediately ;)

    He doesn't feel much like eating and didn't have any of his supper, but has had small amount of his dinner and is drinking plenty fluids

    He told me that the Macmillan Nurse had been to see him this morning and would start off a claim for him, and that she would be round with the doc tomorrow so I should see her then :D


    We have been worrying over a decision which we knew was the right thing to do for practical reasons but our hearts were telling us otherwise. However, we made the decision and I called at the kennels on my way to the hospital and explained the new situation, and asked them about rehoming Billy :( Things are going to be tough over the next few weeks/months and Billy is going to be a problem. He is very strong and I struggle giving the two of them one walk a day, whereas he need 3 good walks, and I can't see Alan being able to manage dog walks while undertaking chemo. Bess is smaller and less trouble so we feel able to cope with her and little pup Molly, but have to be practical and quite selfish and let Billy go to a new home. The kennels understood as we have hinted at this before and they will contact the lady who does the rehoming at their kennels, and she will get in touch with me. I didn't go into the runs today to see Billy & Bess as I would have got too upset and it would have unsettled them, though I was dying to see them :(

    Tough decision, but we both agree that it has to be done :(:( We even discussed whether Bess should be rehomed too, but feel that she won't be as much trouble :o Big drastic changes for us but that comes with the diagnosis :(:(
    :( Mr 3Dogs 3-7-12 :( 3Dogs'Mam 31-3-13 :(

    I know the 'penny' Spontex sponges/scrubbers/wipes are an old clipstrip bargain(s) but does anyone have any details? I could do with some of the aformentioned items to join my cleaning stash :D

    TIA xxx
